Easter may be the season of the bunny, but kids at Washington Elementary School were learning about horses last week.
Anne-Marie Lugo â€” an eighth grader at Forsan Junior High School â€” and her mother, Cindy, visited with the kindergartners about animal needs.
â€śThe students in Mrs. (Yvonne) Loya's class sent us a very nice letter and asked if we would come and speak to them,â€ť Cindy said.
During the afternoon presentation, Anne-Marie and her mother spoke about the basic needs of a horse, proper etiquette when around a horse and answered any questions the students had.

Museums are known to hold history, all kinds of history. Sometimes, they have the opportunity to tell a little of their own.
The newest exhibit at the Heritage Museum, 'Our Houses of History: Portraits of Rural Texas Museums,â€ť will do just that.
â€śOur former museum curator, Beth Williams Purcell, has compiled photographs displaying the history and importance of museums,â€ť said Tammy Schrecengost, museum curator.
The photographic display will open with a meet and greet reception with Purcell, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday.
